Holidays should be times of celebration with loved ones, and no one should have to wonder how theyre going to put food on the table.

All participating customers will be offered a rent discount for donated items. Many property managers are also donating their time and use of the facilitys moving truck to collect items. Im really excited about this effort. We have yard signs, flyers and I fed the hungry stickers for those who donate items, said one property manager in Dillsburg, Pa.
